So, if I added this board to my device, I must be sure to only charge it with a power supply that supports PPS in the 12v range - is that correct?

Thank you, this is a very elegant solution.

That is extremely useful, thank you.

Do I understand correctly that the PD unit is in the USB C plug i.e. can I change the barrel jack connection to the connection on my existing cable?

Precisely, that’s what I meant. Different market segments need different approaches.

Why not both? ;)

Some FOSS apps are only available for a fee in the play store and I think that’s great. They’re able to access a bigger market for funding purposes, and we both know the vast majority of play store users won’t make the effort to figure out how to make donations otherwise.

You can’t download paid apps through the Aurora store.

Update: They’ve released a roadmap.

They have a fixed plan for the next 3 months, mostly back-end improvements for app developers.

Longer term plans are listed in order of priority but without a time line, it depends on how much of their funding goal they reach.

Current funding on Github shown at 10% of goal.

I don’t think they’re aiming to replace F-Droid. Rather think of this as a tool to wean the masses off the play store. It’s also an alternative for those people currently using microg and Aurora Store.

Personally I have some proprietary apps that I don’t want to be without. If Accrescent could provide them, I could finally delete my google account. I literally just have an account to download apps.

Agreed, their site offers much more than just a simple listing. It is so tedious to have to navigate multiple different websites, trying to find the relevant information. Having a single, straightforward, centralised source showing availability, options and prices was amazing when they first started. Hotels have improved their online presence a lot in the last 20 years, but being able to filter consistently for detailed parameters is still valuable, as are their reviews.

I just wish they had stuck with their core business; I don’t want to be offered insurance or car rental or any of the rest of it :/
